Why invest in gold and silver?
Gold and silver have been used as a store of wealth for thousands of years due to their physical and intrinsic attributes.
It’s a marker of wealth, a unit of value, a good conductor of electricity, and most importantly, a way to hedge against inflation and geo-economic uncertainty. Physical precious metals hold an inverse relationship to many traditional paper investments, and this is why Gold and silver are commonly used to diversify and help stabilize investment portfolios.
What’s a precious metal IRA?
An individual retirement account (IRA) is a tax deferred program that is approved by the IRS. A precious metal IRA is IRS approved and allows investors to own physical precious metals while receiving the benefits of a tax deferred retirement program.
Precious metal IRA accounts are safe and secure.
A physical precious metal account is fully compliant with IRS regulations. All precious metal IRA holdings are secure and insured through a commercial depository. On the account holder’s behalf, the IRA custodian, precious metal dealer and the commercial depository work together to physically deliver the precious metals into the retirement account. With the involvement of an IRA custodian, commercial depository, and precious metal dealer, there are multiple checks and balances to ensure a precious metal account holder is protected.
